Ensure your account has sufficient balance before creating servers. API requests will fail if your balance cannot cover the server's cost.

API /v1/ launched
We're launching our public API — a RESTful interface that lets you automate server provisioning, manage resources, and integrate RDP.sh directly into your own platform.
Getting Started
1. Generate an API Key
Navigate to Settings → Developer in your dashboard to create a new API key. Store it securely — you'll need it for all authenticated requests.
2. Authentication
Include your API key in the Authorization header of every request:
curl -X GET https://rdp.sh/v1/servers \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
3. Account Balance
